How can you call a 7 year old a "LITTLE ONE"
I'm not saying we don't get to call our kids whatever we want.
I still call my teen girls "baby" when I talk to them, I don't baby them but I ALWAYS call them my babies. I call my 21 year old son "kiddo", and I don't treat him like a kid.
Last night I leave home to pick up BD16 from athletics and come home. Was gone about 30 minutes. Come back home and BD15 is taking care of BS3, just sitting there playing with him. Nothing unusual. SO and SS7 are nowhere in sight. BD15 says oh he took SS7 to take a shower. Whatevs, also nothing unusual, I swear that boy can't even wipe his own ass (he is not special needs).
10 minutes later SO and SS7 come in the living room and SO says "oh hi Hun...oh and thanks BD15 for watching BS3". Then looks at me again and says "its hard having two little ones huh?".
I gave him this look and said "LITLE ONES are you serious?...you don't know hard, imagine actually having 2 little ones that are literally little ones". Hard my ASS!
Notice my girls ages - 1 year apart and they have a younger sister also 1 year apart. So at one point they were 8 3 2 1.
I swear this man. I really love him when SS7 is not around. But the minute the Princess walks in the door, SO turns into a dumbass idiot. It's been on my mind since last night...is he really trying to convince me that he has to do everything for SS7 cuz he's just a "little one...a helpless wittle baby". Oh gawd I will not be swayed 'you are doing it cuz you are lame'.

Err, that is a little off,
Err, that is a little off, but sometimes parents just do not see it. But, my BS8 bathes (shower or bath), wipes his own butt (he better, the disgustingness he produces!), clips his own nails etc. Definitely not comparable to a 3 year old! And he is fighting me all the time for independence, not attention! I am surprised I have not found him out in my car trying to get himself to school!
LMAO - ex SD14 and es SS11
LMAO - ex SD14 and es SS11 are still "little ones" to my ex as well.
Whenever I'd look shocked at something he had to do for them I'd get the "but they're just little! they can't do that for themselves yet!"
For ss11 this was things like get a bowl of cereal, make a sandwich/toast, shower alone, get dressed FFS!
For sd14 it was still stuff like take responsibility for her actions "she's just a little kid she doesn't know any better!" - this "little kid" is taller and fatter than me...
